THE BLACK MANS' RELATIONSHIP PLEDGE TO THE BLACK WOMAN

I just remebered this note and thought that I would post it to get your opinions. Does this man exist? I've given up hope personally. But I also think that some of the points that he makes are impossible to do.. Just my humble opinion but I do not want to influence yours... Also why is this from a Black Man to a Black Woman is this how a man should treat a woman regardless of colour. Or have we gotten to the point now where this needs to be defined because Black men are sooooo confused about this.. lol i dunno..Go ahead and state your thoughts.

Peace

THE BLACK MANS' RELATIONSHIP PLEDGE TO THE BLACK WOMAN

The Black Man's Relationship Pledge to Black Women is a list of values, principles, actions and mindsets that we Black males must have in order to evolve into Black Men as mates for our Black sisters. This is to build healthy relationships with our Black Women and to fulfill our roles as fathers and husbands in functional, complete Black families, or to simply build healthy interactions with any sista on any level.--

I will have integrity in every dealing with my Black sistas and not lie nor hide anything. --

I will not physically abuse any sista in anyway. Also I will not mentally or emotionally abuse my Black woman.--

I will respect and revere Black womanhood and never call sisters "bitch", "ho" or any vulgar name.--

I will value the children of my Black woman and treat them with love, respect, nurturing and be a positive role model for any child of a sister.--

I will not brutally or harshly correct my Black woman and disrespect her intelligence. If she needs it, I will be a comforting and patient teacher and or healer.--

I will do everything I need to enhance and improve the spiritual, physical and mental health of me and my Black woman.--

I will not talk shit about my Black woman behind her back, tearing her down to other people then smiling to her face. I will also not disrespect my Black woman in public nor in private.--

I will not run from the responsibilities of raising OUR child if my Black woman becomes pregnant by me.--

I will protect Black women from the evils of this world. I AM NOT a knight in shining armor, I am the powerful Kemetic God HeruKhuti and I will smash and burn any and everything that threatens the life of my Black woman. However, I will use discretion and reasoning when dealing out ass whoopings and destruction. I will also not put my Black woman in any danger.--

I will not hide my feelings from my Black woman, I will communicate properly and intelligibly in order to bring about an understanding between us. A healthy expression of emotion is not a sign of weakness in a man.--

I will not undermine or underestimate the worth and essence of the Black woman. I will eradicate any and all forms of sexism, chauvanism and mysogyny within me. Thus I will listen to my Black woman when she has something to say and I will not have any problem at all with my (or any) Black woman taking the lead in whatever she needs to take the lead in. –

I will not be manipulative towards Black women. I will not lie or brag about my unproven, alleged sexual prowess to Black women. As a "conscious" brotha, I will not use knowledge as mack to have sex with sisters. Nor will I manipulate sisters in any act of deceit or harmful way for my own carnal gratification. --

I am NOT a "playa", "mack" or a "pimp". These things, especially a pimp, are as much a disrespect of myself as a Black man as well as disrespectful towards my Black Woman.--

I will be responsible and admit my negativity, if I fuck up, I'll admit it and I will not avoid critique and or correction from my Black woman. Apologies are NOT the sign of weakness in a man.--

I will comfort my Black woman when she is down, upset, angry, saddened or physically ill. I will empathize with her and be her rock or pillow to make sure she gets through her down period. And speaking of periods....--

I will not ridicule or belittle my Black woman when she is going through her natural monthly elimination state. Nor will I use her menstrual cycle as an excuse for her behaviour I deem as an inconvenience to me.--

I will not objectify my Black woman, I will value her entire essence. I will not just see her as a sex object nor will I use european standards in relating to my Black woman.--

I will marvel at the physical beauty of the Black woman. The big sisters and the thinner ones, the dark skinned sisters and the lighter sisters etc. Even though beauty is based on the individual, all Black women in all their physical forms have beauty. --

I will control and eradicate any mental or emotional shortcomings. I will not be jealous, selfish, moody, possesive, have anger issues or any other disorder towards my Black woman.--

I will not compete against my Black woman for our relationship is not a game or a contest.--

I will work with my Black woman in a cooperative nature to accomplish goals we need to conquer together. We are a partnership.--

I will do my very best to satisfy my Black woman sexually. I will learn her entire body and pleasure her in any (healthy) way possible. I will also learn the ways of sex, also knowing the difference between sex and intimacy. And If I don't know how to do any of that.....I will learn and be patient as my Black woman will teach me.
